Home / Highlights / Nicklas Backstrom scores after Alex Ovechkin simultaneously checks two Penguins players
So this is a thing that happened.
Late in the second period, the Capitals took a 2-0 lead over the Pittsburgh Penguins. Nicklas Backstrom scored the goal, but I need to point you to what happened seconds before that.

Alex Ovechkin CHECKED TWO DUDES AT THE SAME TIME.
Like look at this.
He is not human. He is a hockey playing droid made of old Soviet Russian tank parts and powered by a bull’s heart.
But let’s pick up right after the hit. TJ Oshie finds Backstrom wide open in the slot with a beautiful backhanded pass.
The tally was Backstrom’s 13th goal of the season.
